I can echo many other on this thread, everyone else on the lake... no matter what they're doing... are making waves that make everything less enjoyable for us. My local lake, that we only hit on weeknights, is super small with a little island in the middle. The lake etiquette is to go around the island in a counter clockwise pattern... this can lead to a build up of waves pretty quickly. Still though, on the larger lakes we hit on the weekends, we still find people making a mess of things. Go fast boats screaming by at 60+ mph unnecessarily close, tubers in the calm water weaving all around, jet skiers thrashing around. etc. It's usually not the skiers or board sport people causing the majority of the wake on my lakes. I did get a good laugh at a jet skier this past weekend... we were rolling about 20 mph and he starts to jump our wake, ballast was still about 50% full from surfing... I told the wife when I saw him coming "put the wakeplate up, give this guy a ride," he cleared the wake in one of the larger jet skies then wiped out on his second jump (he was fine).

I think the main point is, we all have invested in boats an equipment... we'd all love to have the lake all to ourselves to do whatever we wanted.
